Testimony to the Holy Sabbath
By Polly G. Pitts
Dear Bro. White: I thank you and all the dear children of God, who are doing all they can to spread the light of truth, for sending me the "Review and Herald." I thank the Lord for overruling the means so that the light of present truth has reached me, a poor, unworthy creature. I believe if I was cast out to the ends of the earth his mercy would follow me, his hand would lead me, his 'right hand' would guide me, and his Word would be a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. By the Bible I try everything that I receive. O, how sweet and refreshing has the influence of the Holy Spirit been to me, while it has opened my understanding and showed me glorious things out of God's holy law, and took of the things of Jesus and showed them unto me. How plain it was to me that the holy Sabbath, the sanctified Rest-day, the seventh day, had never been abolished, no, no. God's commandments stand fast. I wish I could tell my brethren how glorious and bright they look to me. The Dear Redeemer has said, whosoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. May the Lord help us all to do and teach them, and have the faith of Jesus. I believe Jesus will have a tried people, and while they are in the furnace they will be purified and made white, and he will never try them too long. I did not confer with flesh and blood, but kept the Sabbath of the Lord our God as soon as I had light on the subject. Yours waiting for Jesus,
